He said he would sprinkle in the veterans with kids but a year ago felt this would be a playoff team based on how the young players finished last season. <BR/><BR/>A healthy productive Comrie, Sillinger give this team the scoring they need. Who knows what Bailey would have done if he played here from day one. <BR/><BR/>The Rangers are in sixth place and have scored only five more goals than the Islanders with about 500 less man games lost to injury this season.<BR/><BR/>Minnesota is still in contention and have scored about as much as the Islanders again with far less injuries. <BR/><BR/>To me this was all about the injuries. A year ago the Islanders were in sixth place as late as January until the injuries caught up with them. <BR/><BR/>Thanks again.NYIsles1/IslesTigershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08893910827754685132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543837509741614295.post-16035910517286410732009-03-25T12:41:00.000-04:002009-03-25T12:41:00.000-04:00I think your definitely overrating this years Isla...I think your definitely overrating this years Islanders team. They said they were going to be rebuilding this year and sacked Nolan because he wanted Veterans. Even if DiPietro plays this season, hip injuries are major and can have more effects then just health. Even with the injuries, the team just wouldn't score enough goals to win.TheBardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14552109874699279818noreply@blogger.com
